These funny, heartfelt, and inquisitive letters to Santa from real kids will make you laugh and warm your heart.

“Dear Santa, I have been trying to be a responsible person. I hope I would get what I always wanted. The thing I want most is a dog. dog. dog. I know I haven’t been taking care of my Giga dog but it is a not real and a dog would be. Santa, I would even trade my one and only Mom for a dog. I knew that a dog would be a big responsibility but I have been bugging my Dad since I was three and I’m tired of it. Love, Megan” (These are the Christmas movies guaranteed to get you into the holiday spirit.)

The reason Carson’s words resonated with the public is because of the “oil crisis” of the early 70’s. The country was in turmoil as drivers waited in long lines for hours for a few gallons of gas. This is what happens when people are stressed and a shortage psychology sets in. It may seem funny now, but people were actually getting in gun fights for a place in line at the time.
